Edible Gardening

I do like the sound of unusual tomatoes...I think I had moneymaker, gardeners delight, and something else I forget, all indoors and all were fantastic. I won't waste time putting them outside as the wind will just wreck them. I can't grow any tall plants here, they get ruined. The growing...

I worked along side my Grandad planting tons of spuds and if I as much as bruised one never mind cut one he would have kicked my backside! :D And as Dave and Pete say,I also don't think cutting them has any benefit to the crop.

Excellent, thank you

JKW they are acually going for £700 to £800 this is what I have been told but I am going to hang on to it for a while. I get my digging done quicker and I am not stressed.

Jo, wouldn`t they have to be taught to jump up and down as well?
